Buttigieg Attracting Praise from an Unexpected Audience: Conservatives<\/a> — He\u2019s called the Green New Deal a ‘sound framework\u2019 for confronting climate change. He\u2019s called for abolishing the Electoral College and has endorsed the idea of single-payer health care. And he\u2019s openly gay. But Pete Buttigieg is getting rare praise from some unlikely voices \u2014 conservatives.<\/p>\n“Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an avid Trump supporter, said after watching Buttigieg\u2019s town hall that he saw ‘no radicalism\u2019 in the ‘personable\u2019 candidate, whom he said would ‘make mincemeat\u2019 out of his primary challengers in a debate.” Said Limbaugh, “Keep an eye on Mayor Pete.” Look, I will confess (chuckles), I thought this story would happen before now. I\u2019ve been waiting for this. I warned you people to be on the lookout for this.<\/p>\n
This is a well-kept secret between us but now the secret is out. The Drive-By Media has stumbled across the fact that I pointed positively to Mayor Pete within the universe of Democrat candidates. This is why Snerdley thinks (whispering), “It\u2019s working. You\u2019re playing these people like a fiddle,” because, see, the objective is… (interruption) No, I can\u2019t give away the tradecraft.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t give… (interruption) No, don\u2019t… You just have to trust me that it worked and it is continuing to work. You can\u2019t. It\u2019s like a magician never reveals a trick, and I can\u2019t… For those of you who understand what\u2019s going on, more power to you. You\u2019re free to go on Twitter and Facebook and explain it to anybody, but I can\u2019t. Suffice it to say that Snerdley came in waving the story, “You did it!” (laughing) Yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
